i just dont like it. i dont like the sound of cookie monster on the microphone. rap gets trashed because mainstream is all about the same few categories, yet the majority of metal songs have dark meanings to them. and the guitar seems to be more focused on showing how technical and fast you can play, w/o playing something that actually sounds good.

my older brother is into all sorts of grindcore and metal bands(in flames, opeth, falkkenbach(sp???), KSE, trivium), and it's just not my thing.
